Heating bills can at times rise exponentially high if not looked at, especially when winter knocks. On average, it's estimated that a single household spends around $1500 on heating bills annually. It is a considerable amount, and as time goes by, the situation doesn't seem to change at all. There are simple ways one can integrate into their life to lower the cost of heating. 

Regular furnace maintenance is among the factors that add to the cost of heating. On average, it will cost you around 80 dollars to fully service your furnace, and the services will be excellent. Also, furnace maintenance offers house insulation is yet another method of lowing your heating bill. Finally, lowering your thermostat also adds to lowering your heating bills.

Reasons Why Heating Bills Are Often Expensive

The following reasons largely contribute to enormous heating bills in your home. 
First, it lets home appliances such as fridges, cookers, and others bleed you dry by leaving them plugged when one uses them. It's surprising to note that modern home appliances usually draw electricity even when they get turned off. To save on power, it's essential to turn off electricity when you are not using these appliances.
Secondly, operating appliances such as cloth washers, dishwashers, and cloth dryers will get substantial heating bills. It is because these devices usually require large amounts of electricity compared to other hog devices. A quick solution to this challenge is ensuring that they get filled before running these devices on. Also, you can have HVAC services guide you on power and energy saving tips in regards to these devices.

Furnace Saving Tips

Below are some of the tips that will ensure your furnace is not using much of the energy.
• Changing the air filter regularly keeps and maintains energy costs down. Its recommended that this gets done every three months.HVAC services are excellent in changing and maintaining such types of equipment.
• Ensure your vents get checked and clean to ensure no obstructions or vents of your furnace get blocked as this forces your furnace to work harder, consuming much energy. There are experts in furnace installation who can assist you in all this.
• Regularly clean your furnace as this improves the optimal performance of your furnace. Once a year, it should be done to remove dust and other debris that might have found its way to the furnace. One can also engage professionals in furnace maintenance if they cannot clean it themselves.

  • What is a mini-split?

    By definition, and simply put, a “Split System” is a heating and air conditioning system which has two main components, the indoor unit and outdoor unit. In short, the indoor unit absorbs heat energy in the cooling mode, and the outdoor unit rejects the very heat absorbed by the indoor unit. And the cycle is repeated until the set temperature is met. Although the indoor and outdoor units are located in physically different, hence “split” locations, they are connected and operate as, one system; continuously circulating refrigerant liquid and vapor by means of interconnecting, dehydrated copper refrigerant lines, commonly referred to as a “Line Set”.

  • Water is Leaking on my Furnace

    Water falling on to the furnace can harm your heating unit by affecting the control boards and other components enclosed in the furnace. There can be many causes to the water overflow, but the most common cases in the summer is the ice build up inside the evaporator coil due to low refrigerant level. Water build up can also be due to the evaporator coil having a crack on the base, if this is the case contact us by booking an appointment or call us today to have a technician come have a look at your unit and repair this issue before it causes excessive damage.
